Call me crazy, but I firmly believe every musical key has its own unique identity. They are like different people to me, each with their own distinct personality. My scientific-minded friends may say “Look dude, it’s just a difference in frequency”. But nope, in my opinion every key has personality. I believe when you’re a [...]

“My Fair Lady” Was Not Written By Rodgers & Hammerstein!
Wednesday, 21 May, 2008
I think I might go crazy the next time I hear someone say that “My Fair Lady” was written by Rodgers & Hammerstein. It was not. The book and lyrics were written by Alan Jay Lerner, and the music was composed by Frederick Loewe. See (here). Now you know what NOT to say whenever you [...]
When Will Bloggers Ever Learn?

Article from CNA today: Man arrested for posting racially-offensive content online Basically this 24 year old blogger has been arrested “for posting racially-offensive content on his blog”. I don’t wanna go into the details, but let’s just say I have read the post in question and I think it’s just disgusting. (You can read more about [...]
Spurs Ain’t Getting No Love
Wednesday, 21 May, 2008
Man, words can’t describe how thrilled I was to see that the Spurs overcame the Hornets in this morning’s Game 7 in New Orleans. This series against the Hornets was definitely a huge test. It was a war. There were many times which I seriously thought the Hornets would win the series, especially when they [...]

Saturday, 17 May, 2008
I never thought I’d ever say this, but I am actually starting to like a James Blunt song very much. No, no…not “You’re Beautiful”. I can’t stand that song! I’m talking about James Blunt’s latest single “Carry You Home”, which I think is a great song. It’s starting to grow on me.

The big show will be held at the Marina Bay for the second year running. But organisers are injecting many new elements, to bring the parade very much closer [...]
Is Being A Tyrant The Only Way?
Thursday, 15 May, 2008
I was doing some reading up on legendary chef Marco Pierre White recently. Marco Pierre White might not be as well-known as, say, Gordon Ramsay, but he was actually the chef that trained Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal, among others, to become the celebrity chefs that they are today. Marco Pierre White was also the [...]
Home Court Advantage
Thursday, 15 May, 2008
This year’s NBA playoffs has been one of the most intriguing I’ve seen in years. It’s almost like a tennis match – the home team holds serve until the away team finally manages to break serve (i.e. win on the road). The consistency at which the home team has won on their own court in [...]
Do Male Drivers Bully Female Drivers? Do Women Give Way On The Roads?
Tuesday, 13 May, 2008
There was a massive jam from the west this morning. And it so happened that the topic which Glenn Ong and the Flying Dutchman decided to touch on this morning on the radio was the issue of whether male drivers tend to bully female drivers on the roads. Talk about an apt topic! Anyway, as [...]

Well, apart from “Massa Wins Third Successive Turkish GP”…the best sports headline I’ve read all week is “Spurs Even Series With Hornets”. Spurs are back in the series baby!
